I don't like this website and have mostly stopped using it, but I do want to say: Whether or not camping bans are legal under the eyes of the Supreme Court does not mean it is right or just or humane.

@iBringBalance @mitchellbyars @DorfmanNicole The answer here simply has to do with how many submissions I get. Iris Ave opinions are in the pipeline, but I can't simply bump them to the top of the queue, as that likely wouldn't sit well with everybody else who is passionate about their issue.

@odarren1 @RepEpps so that in the future we can approach the topic with more knowledge and a broader understanding of the perspectives of the stakeholders. Would you be interested in writing a guest opinion so that our readers can get a second perspective?

[Gary Garrison @GJVGarrison]

@odarren1 @RepEpps Hi Darren, thank you for weighing in here. It is very true that we don't always capture the full picture. But I am always interested learning more about these issues 1/2

"To give young Americans a chance of living to see dignified retirements, we need to tackle the short and long-term obstacles to saving: Let’s raise the minimum wage, strengthen labor rights, guarantee housing and health care, and fight climate change."

“In 2017, the United States spent $155 billion on tax breaks to homeowners and investors in rental housing and mortgage-revenue bonds, more than three times the $50 billion spent on affordable housing.”

“The spiral of overvaluation in housing, which makes the housing-haves rich and the have-nots desperately poor, has brought us to a point where only something radical can solve it.” https://t.co/GPLI6XjCDJ

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.

Fear is no basis for a democracy. And building a platform on division and hateful misinformation will never unite us.

To keep pace with a changing world, we must invest in our future. Two taxes on this year’s ballot — BVSD’s proposed bond measure and a reconfigured climate tax — are two ways Boulder can continue investing in and planning for our shared future.

We have the opportunity to include 30,000 more voters in our local elections — 30,000 more people whose lives will be affected by the tally of the ballots. For those who believe in the merits of democracy, this should go a long way.
